Matt Nichols, Elite quarterback?
JuranBoldenRules replied to SPuDS's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Elite possession protector with no fear, which is a huge step from where he was when the Bombers acquired him. He doesn't have the skill of Mitchell, Reilly, Jennings. He can beat them by playing smart. When he tries to go toe to toe with those guys it ends badly, see the Calgary game. Needs to be a hell of a lot more consistent before this conversation can even happen. The stretches of games where they can't even get first downs let alone score just can't happen. Looked better last week. -

McSucky.

But he went to Oklahoma. He's gotta be better than some CIS dud.

Should start calling players for Obj conduct who can't keep their helmets on. Tighten up your chinstrap.

Getting outcoached every week. Huge factor in 1-5-1.
-
McDuffie did as much as our return men to help us pull that one out with some brutal decisions. What a bonehead!
-
That game was a rout. Challenges/reviews would have had zero impact on that. Wait until a 20-17 game where there's a blatant missed call on the drive that would have turned the outcome.

Or inevitably let Fajardo take over.

The best system IMO is the NCAA one which relies on the booth to initiate reviews with coaches given minimal challenges. I'd like to see the CFL move to that. They don't call down to the field every five plays, but it gives the league a mechanism to get it right even if it isn't a scoring play or turnover. Also I forgot to add my time limit which is 60 seconds to review and 90 total to have a decision to the field otherwise call on the field stands.
-
Here's my proposal: -Up to 3 coaches challenges per team. If a coach loses a challenge, they are done for the game. Need a timeout to challenge. If a coach tosses a challenge flag to challenge something that isn't reviewable they are done, lose their timeout and are assessed a 10 yard objectionable conduct penalty. -Coaches can challenge anything but penalties. -Review of penalties (PI, illegal contact, UR, RTP) can only be initiated by the Command Centre. -The Command Centre can initiate a review (not just scores/turnovers) at any time to correct significant on-field missed calls, wrong calls and improper application of rules.
-
Kind of a silly position IMO. Used to finish a game concussed too, or play the next one. If there is a tool to prevent or fix HUGE mistakes, why wouldn't they use it? They should use it, they just have to refine the process and close the loopholes. Maybe broadcasting the games is bringing too much scrutiny. Radio only, like the good ol' days.
-
Who cares about PI or RTP? What about fumble/down by contact? Catch/no catch? Many of these don't happen on turnovers or scoring plays. They are getting these wrong every game and unless they are giving more power to the "eye in the sky" to initiate reviews this is a brutal move towards officials deciding outcomes.
-
PI isn't as bad as the illegal contact ones, just eliminate those and it wouldn't be so bad.
-
Well look at our games this season. We had to challenge a catch for a first down that clearly and blatantly incomplete against BC. So now O'Shea would have to gift that first down to BC to preserve his challenge for later? Bullshit. They got it wrong again, the old cut off the nose to spite the face change.
-
Disagree. The problem wasn't the number of challenges coaches could initiate, the process was the problem. I would have limited PI reviews to video at regular speed, set a hard cap at decision within 90 seconds or inconclusive and eliminated the illegal contact review. Just wait until someone loses a game on a botched PI call that they could have reviewed previously, the pendulum will swing right back around.
-
Could just set all their ratings to 99.

Knox has no clue against the pass, doesn't have coverage instincts. He's a ball chaser and as a result he gets sucked into the line and taken right out of the play a lot. Rare to see a play where Wild doesn't end up right at the ball, whether it's at the line of scrimmage in his gap or 80 yards away across the field. Don't see that in Knox.

Winnipeg @ Ottawa: Are they due?
JuranBoldenRules replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Every game against an Eastern team is a must-win for a team looking to make the West playoffs, even potentially for 4th place. If the Bombers go 6-2 against the east (2-0 right now) and manage 4-6 or 5-5 against the West (1-2) they'll surely make the playoffs. If they sweep the East or do a little better against the West they'll host a playoff game. Bottom line, gotta feast on these shitty eastern teams, and they are shitty. No ability to close games. -
Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
JuranBoldenRules replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I hope Ottawa paid a lot for him. Can't catch punts, makes a 2 turnovers/bad decisions that bury you in field position game for every big return. Not too worried about "missing out" on McDuffie. -
Far less cocaine than his dad.

Game day thread: Montreal here
JuranBoldenRules replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
If he stays in bounds on the one run he had before his TD the Bombers have no hope of scoring that TD with or without the refs help. Needs to look in the mirror. -
Look at how many tackles they missed. Stupid penalties they took.
-
It crosses a pretty big line towards personal, which is absurd for someone writing about sports. Like call a guy out for a fake punt, but labeling the guy "hated," saying he doesn't hold himself accountable for his work and calling him "the smirk?" Really makes you wonder what's wrong in his life.
